Internal Design Reference KIT VOICE MIDI ■ FOOT SW Jack The Foot Switch jack is used to connect an optional hi-hat controller (FC4 or FC5, etc.), hi-hat controller (HH65, etc.), or foot controller (FC7) to the DTX-MULTI 12. Within the instrument's display, a signal input via this jack is identified as √¤'' . Once you have told the DTX-MULTI 12 which type of controller or foot switch is connected, you can then select from a range of useful functions to assign to it. A number of typical examples are described below. NOTE • Be sure to always turn off the DTX-MULTI 12 before connecting a controller or foot switch. If you do not follow this precaution, the controller or foot switch may not function correctly. • Open the Select Voice page (VCE1) and choose a preset voice, pattern, or wave to be assigned to √¤'' . (See page 56.) ● Changing kits or patterns using an FC4 or FC5 [Function] With parameters configured as described below, you can use an FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch to change a range of different settings. For example, you could operate a foot switch to select the next kit or pattern, to increase or decrease the tempo by 1, to tap the tempo, or to turn the click-track on or off. Furthermore, you can also set a MIDI Control Change message number and value to be sent when the foot switch is depressed. ● Using an HH65 as a bass drum pedal [Function] With parameters configured as described below, an HH65 Hi-hat Controller can be used to play bass-drum voices and the like. As with acoustic drums, furthermore, the tone of the sound produced can be influenced by how fast or slow you depress the controller. In addition, drum sounds can be produced without the vibration and mechanical noise typical of acoustic bass-drum pedals. HH65 [Setup] • With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the HH65 Hi- hat Controller via the FOOT SW jack. • Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12. • On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn- Sel to "HH65". (See page 89.) • On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select √¤'' and then set Func to "off". (See page 88.) • Open the Select Voice page (VCE1) and choose a voice, such as a bass drum, to be assigned to √¤'' . (See page 56.) ● Playing sounds using an FC4 or FC5 [Function] With parameters configured as described below, you can play sounds by operating an FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch. Trigger signals generated in this way have a fixed velocity, and therefore, they are ideal for playing effect sounds, patterns, and waves. FC4, FC5 [Setup] • With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch via the FOOT SW jack. • Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12. • On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn- Sel to "ftSw". (See page 89.) • On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select √¤'' and then set Func to "off". (See page 88.) FC4, FC5 [Setup] • With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch via the FOOT SW jack. • Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12. • On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn- Sel to "ftSw". (See page 89.) • On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select √¤'' and then set Func to the function you want to control using the foot switch. (See page 88.) ● Adjusting volume (or other MIDI Control Change values) using an FC7 [Function] With parameters configured as described below, you can adjust volume and many other MIDI Control Change values by changing the pedal angle of an FC7 Foot Controller (in order to send MIDI Control Change messages). The FC7 retains its current pedal angle after you remove your foot, and therefore, it is ideal for making minute changes to the controlled parameter. FC7 [Setup] • With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the FC7 Foot Controller via the FOOT SW jack. • Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12. • On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn- Sel to "FC7". (See page 89.) • On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select √¤'' and then set Func to the MIDI Control Change message ("CC01" to "CC95") that you want to control. (See page 88.)
